- 01/01/1930 — Carrick Hunting (Personal) (register-of-tartans, record)
District Tartans book states that this was designed about 1930 for Councillor John Hannay by Arthur Galt of Hugh Galt & Sons Ltd., of Barrhill, Girvan. The name Carrick has a Gaelic derivation ('rock') and may refer to the island of Ailsa Craig off the Ayrshire coast. See also Carrick. This is also called Carrick Hunting and is no doubt the source of McGregor Hastie's swatch in his collection 0721. Sample in Scottish Tartans Authority Scarlett Collection. This sample comes from the MacGregor-Hastie collection which forms the basis of the cloth archive of the Scottish Tartans Society. Some of the samples, including this one, were unmarked. - 1930 — Carrick Htg (Clan) (tartans-authority, record)
District Tartans book states that this was designed about 1930 for Councillor John Hannay by Arthur Galt of Hugh Galt & Sons Ltd., of Barrhill, Girvan. The name Carrick has a Gaelic derivation ('rock') and may refer to the island of Ailsa Craig off the Ayrshire coast. See also Carrick. This is also called Carrick Green and is no doubt the source of McGregor Hastie's swatch in his collection 0721. Sample in STA Scarlett Collection. This tartan and its associated clan version at #1389 were for some time considered as Personal & District tartans respectively, but this misunderstanding has now been rectified (June 2010)
